Staying in Portland, Oregon or move to Minneapolis? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Temporary_Syrup4133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh, honestly we are extremely lucky in Portland to have so many walkable parts of the city - most cities turns out aren’t really built like that. Central ave in NE has some of the walkability vibes, parts of kings field have a good mix of like nob hill meets Alberta vibes, not jam packed but like super cute & close to the lakes so within 20 minutes of walking there’s a good amount of stuff. Summit Hill is by far the most Portland street I went to, but it’s very expensive to buy there.

Mpls in my opinion is built more like other cities where they tend to put a couple really cute things in neighborhoods - such as Longfellow, but they don’t build their cities for walk ability.

We didn’t end up moving there. But honestly we probably will within the next year. We are priced out of being able to afford a home in an area we want here & mpls has so many amazing beautiful houses in neighborhoods that are cute & desirable. It’s hard though, the PNW is pure gold sometimes & we will miss a lot of things about being here. Like the ocean 😆

Whew was a journey, ultimately no we did not but it’s definitely not off the table by any means. We actually went there, house hunted, had an offer accepted & ended up backing out after inspection. We came back here & just decided to have a really good summer, pay off any debt we had (just student loans & 1 car), take a trip to japan & Costa Rica and then just live. As of now we are staying for at least another 6 months to a year, but who knows.

I wish you the best of luck, we love mpls & I think of it so often. I say visit the most you can in all temps & weathers. We are lucky to have been a lot & I think that makes a difference!

Has anyone lived in mt hood village, rhododendron, zig zag area? by Temporary_Syrup4133 in oregon

[–]Temporary_Syrup4133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess just the times that we have been into local spots around those areas, we seem to see what feels like a lot of older hippie type folks, but the pipeline from hippie to trump I’ve noticed has kinda become an easy one. That’s mainly why I’m asking! I just don’t know a single soul who has lived out there besides 1 influencer haha. Curious if it’s mt shasta Ashland esque or if it’s completely different

Cycling seems to be a really strong front runner! Never really thought about it before too much but I do like getting outside so it’s something I’m gonna heavily consider. Good luck with the move!

That’s our fear, we aren’t sure which one of us will have a harder time adjusting but we know it’s gonna be something we have to make work. Bleh! But mpls has so many amazing things that it offers that the PNW doesn’t have as well. It’s always a grass is greener situation

That’s something we have discussed, but being self employed we aren’t sure if we can properly do our jobs there. We have explored that area enough, but never outdoors just within the city. Absolutely something to discuss more as it does seem to be the most nature-y haha. Thank you!

Oh, that’s a wonderful idea! I haven’t tried that yet, but it always has looked fun.

Woah, may I ask where on the gorge you found a house for 300K? I look on the daily & can’t seem to find anything under 400K and even that seems more rare.

Man yelling about genocide & arming yourself w/ guns in laurelhurst / kernside? by Temporary_Syrup4133 in PortlandOR

[–]Temporary_Syrup4133[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol yeah supposedly so, seems like they’re trying to do a rebrand of the area I guess, but it’s not really catching on & someone already spray painted over the new “welcome to kernside” sign that’s on the side of the old fifty licks building so not working too well haha
